Mr Clark Joseph Kent

My version of Clark Kent is quite a bit different from the version that Lego officially released. I opted to give him the blue suit + red tie look, inspired by Superman The Animated Series. Realistically, I don’t see why Superman would choose to wear blue and red as part of his disguise when you’d think he’d do whatever he could to hide his resemblance to Superman. But especially in Lego, it just sort of helps visually to have a consistent color scheme between them. I also used the Harry Potter face print for Clark because I wanted him to be smiling. Lego’s face print for Clark (and Superman at the time) looked a little too serious. It’s no surprise that they now use that facial print for Lex Luthor, because it looks like the face of a constipated jerk.

Pretty proud of the way my Clark Kent minifigure turned out. I’m aiming for a cartoonish and whimsical vibe with my work in progress Fortress of Solitude display, and that means I’ll probably end up making my own versions even of a lot of characters that Lego already produces. It’s all about putting my own spin on the DC multiverse and having fun with it!

What are your guys’ thoughts on this Clark Kent figure?
